Sarah, I think you do know what my post refers to noted by the speed of your reply. You take issue with my belief that being for the war coincides with being conservative, okay that's a good argument. Granted the far far fanatical right (Pat Buchanan & Bay Banshee Buchanan) are against it, for other reasons. But the mainstream of those in support are from the mainstream right, from what I see. I know some pretty apolitical and fairly centered political people who are very against this war. AND that's in my business, which is the futures and options industry. Yes, gold still rallies a bit at the thought of war, but the economy does not flourish at the thought of war like it did many years ago.
I didn't think you were "that" conservative till more recently and that's your personal choice anyway. You don't owe me any explanation, as to your ideology . But it was the childishness, that I observed this week. Because they were my words I noticed. I was choosing to let it go but you gals just kept a going! And yet took my exact side on the journalism issue. I like having the distinctions of ideolgies, I like to know where my enemy is coming from. They exist, and I will use them for my own caution. I believe it's a game to cause confusion started by the Regan administration, (color blind) remember that one? Until there is honesty and integrity and openness in governtment, I like have them marked. Imagine, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. See Sarah even you are - and the last time I brought this up I ended with "What's so funny bout peace, love and understanding - and that was belittled as well. I was somewhat surprised to have you involved in the fun and games this week. I hope I can look beyond this and read your posts with the same interest I used to but it may take some time to get there again. No I wasn't comletely joking about the right and their lack of feelings - a generalization yes, I am not a perfect human being like one or two others here, not speaking to you now Sarah. But that's the best I can do right now and until then the burden of proof lies with them or the right. Take care Sarah, and I hope we can talk again in the future. BUt I really don't want to beat this thing to death nor start our own war. I tried to abstain, but when Lori went to bat, I felt a responsibility not to have her hung out to dry. Thanks ...
